. :)  I'm trying to get a better grasp of "best practices" for owning / managing rentals. :) Lease Terms: Long Term, One Year, Section 8, Six Months - does that mean "long term" for one year, and "Section 8" for six months, or does that mean, "Hey, as long as you pay on time, we're easy to get along with... two year lease, annual, Section 8, or short-term of six months... whatever you prefer, Mr/Mrs Tenant..." ? 

This is practical; takes 2x min to move in. 

Although I have been practicing real estate for the past almost 17 years.

Approve or Deny Application with documented reasonMy main fear is keeping things fair and avoiding any unintentional violations of Fair Housing laws or partial practices.

Good business practices are a must.

I know I need to stay consistent with mail and door knocking but can anyone recommend what best practices they use for their list?

*Social distance practices will applyReply below if interested and I will message you with further details.

We're still working out best practices for stuff like that.

I have heard people recommend using a percentage of rent but that method doesn't seem practical to me for a variety of reasons.

For the first 6-8 years we owned it, it was the best small investment we ever made and I practically lived there.
